Engaged to the upper ed e thereof is the ring B having the shoulder C is a cover formed with a recess in its center, and into which is fitted a block of absorbent material D. The latter may be held in the cover in any suitable way.

E is a ring having a shoulder e and flange 6 to fit the ring B and another shoulder e and flan e e to receive the'cover C. As will be readi y seen by removing the cover and I substituting any height of ring E, the receptacle may be made adaptable for any length of cigar.

a space 0 is left between the flange c and the flange 0 thus adapting the cover to be used on other sizes of jars.

It is obvious that the user can provide as much or as little moisture in the jar as he desires, depending entirely on the amount of water which he placed inthe absorbent ma-.

terial D.

Another very important feature of my insupported around the mouth of the jar, a

cover for the jar removably supported upon the upper edge of said ring and absorbent material supported by the inner. surface of said cover.

- having its inner face counter-sunk, a block of absorbent material placed in said countersunk portion, and a separable ring resting on the upper edge of the jar, and on which the cover rests. Y
